egr

[legalize420]

i hooked my egr back up this weekend because i definetly get better gas miles. now i have a cel. when i was using the method of securing the plunger i had no cel. i did not pull codes yet but i will when i get a chance. when i removed my smog pump i removed all the vac lines. do you need the red and green vac lines that hook up to the egr and the intake? i have plugs in place of the vac lines now. should i hook up the red and green and just keep the lines that went to the smog plugged? thanks

I thought the red one was for the EGR? I have a red one hooked up to my intake manifold on that tree thing on the elbow, I don't remember what it's for though.

i already did the smog pump a few weeks ago. i read the article and it says nothing about the red and green vac lines that go to the intake and the egr.

you have to go in the fenderwell and modify the harness. I just did this, but IMO I'm getting better milage and power without it

The red is the vac feed from the intake to the 3 inner fenderwell solenoids. The green is from the EGR solenoid to the egr (provides vac to egr). Both need connected for the egr to work.

can anyone post a pic of the red and green lines? i may have gotten rid of them when i did my smog removal and made my egr not function.

i do not have a pic but the red and green vac lines are in a group of lines that run to the fenderwall. when you removed the smog it would have been attached to the AIRB and AIRD as mentioned in that link for the removal. i hooked mine back up last night and no more cel.
